This yarn is perfect for creating luxurious socks, scarves, shawls, baby garments, jumpers, and cardigans.

For an added touch of opulence, our Alpaca Silk Blend combines 70% baby alpaca with 30% mulberry silk, offering 400 meters (437 yards) per 100 grams. This blend merges the exceptional warmth and strength of alpaca with the lustrous sheen of mulberry silk, resulting in a yarn with a shiny, smooth luster that feels luxurious to work with. Like our Superfine Alpaca, Alpaca Silk is hypoallergenic and ideal for a range of elegant projects, including scarves, shawls, wraps, and garments.

Discover the pure, luxurious warmth of our 100% Non-Superwash Merino yarn, sourced from the Shaniko Wool Company—a branded and certified program of American Merino wool. This exquisite yarn is crafted from the finest, untreated merino wool, derived from Merino and Merino/Rambouillet sheep raised in the Western U.S.

Our 100% Non-Superwash Merino is spun into a beautifully textured 3-ply yarn.

Each skein offers 450 yards of yarn per 100 grams, providing ample length for a variety of projects.

In addition to our non-superwash merino, we also offer the Shaniko Cashmere Blend—a luxurious mix of 80% Fine Shaniko Wool and 20% Cashmere. This blend combines the softness and warmth of merino with the unparalleled softness of cashmere, resulting in a 3-ply yarn that delivers both elegance and comfort. Like the non-superwash merino, it provides 490 yards per 100 grams and adds a touch of sophistication to your knitting or crocheting experience.

Perfect for those who appreciate the authenticity of traditional wool and the luxury of cashmere, both our Shaniko Wool and Shaniko Cashmere Blend embrace a full range of natural colors and textures.
